“Snipers must make themselves calm in order to succeed, and that is why women are good at sharpshooting. Because there is not a woman alive who has not learned how to eat rage in order to appear calm.”
A favorite HF from Quinn! I like both covers❄️

pickWhere I delve deep into the Underground in London and find a library. Thanks to Kate Thompson for uncovering The Little Wartime Library

Reading Madeline's book, I've learned just how important it is to not let education be "stifled or cultures to be erased or books to banned" I could not have come up with better words to share the importance of preserving stories and history, learning from them, and providing access to those in times of war or crisis to the stories that they need to help them survive.
pickAmazing! I absolutely loved this book. This is the second book I have read by Madeline and both were amazing. I cannot wait to read more of her work. I will be adding Madeline to my list of favorite authors for sure.
pickThe blurb explains it well. Based on letters between Micheal‘s father living in London and his cousin in Poland. A good read together book for 8 + I would think. I loved it. Great illustrations too.
pick🎧 was not the best way to read this. Unfamiliar with Polish names and I struggled with keeping people straight. But. What a book. This is a feminist look at not only an amazing woman also war. I had never heard of The Silent Unseen - Polish paratroopers trained in Britain and dropped behind enemy lines in Poland Zo's story is both fantastical and frustrating as the Soviet punished Nazi fighters and men refuse to recognize women's contributions.
Picking my way through: Billy Boyle, Don Quixote, ‘67, Outlander, and Babel
Finished: The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo
Just started: Circe
